What movie did you last watch?

Re: What movie did you last watch?

My favorite part of that movie is when Charlie Sheen is on the boat, and he's reading his voice-over narration from Platoon. Then, another boat passes his, with Martin Sheen on board reading his voice-over narration from Apocalypse Now. the two voice-over narrations overlap, then they both stand up and shout "I loved you in Wall Street!" as the boats pass each other.

It's dumb humor, sure, but it cracks me up every time I see it on TV.

EDIT: Well, he's a youtube clip of it:

Yes...That part is fantastic.

I liked Airplane!, Top Secret! and The Naked Gun but I didn't like Hot Shots at all. So if you say that Part Deux is worse that the original, then I will never watch it...

It may be better. Haven't seen the first one forever. Surely, neither is close to Airplane! or The Naked Gun though. I've still never seen Top Secret...been meaning to for years. I gotta add it to the queue.

Michael Clayton.

Is anyone else tired of the near-movielong flashback? It didn't ruin this film for me, but it sure worried me about it.

I'm surprised this is nominated for Best Picture. Enjoyable, sure -- just not an amazing story. And I've seen Clooney do this before ... a lot. He does it well.

In Bruges- Great movie. Plenty of comedy, drama and action. I went to the Keystone Arts Cinema to see it, it is a very cool place.

I hadn't seen Parenthood in a long time. For those with kids of any age, it is a true masterpiece in what life on the roller coaster is like. I am an only child, but I have seen enough of sibling interaction as adults to have a pretty good feeling that the portrayal of that dynamic is dead on also.

Great movie. Underrated or overlooked probably, but one of those movies that I can't not watch once I start.

I agree. I like Michael Clayton, but the fact that it is nominated for best picture with Eastern Promises and American Gangster sidelined is a travesty. The nominations this year (of what I've seen) should be There Will Be Blood, Eastern Promises, American Gangster, No Country for Old Men and Into the Wild. That is an impressive list of films right there.

I'm really hoping There Will be Blood gets cinemetography and sound editing, because it really deserves it.

Juno

Feel good movie.

Ellen Page looks so cool and cute. I'd like to get to know her.

But apparently she's Canadian. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Run Fatboy Run

It wasn't as awesome as Hot Fuzz but it still was worth a watch.

Haha Hot Fuzz was so cool. I'd like to see that one again for sure.

Jumper- aside from There Will Be Blood (which is in a class of it's own), this is the best movie I've seen this year.

Really? I saw it this past weekend, and even though the idea was a pretty good one and it was mildly entertaining it was lacking. Not sure what it could have been a pretty good movie, but I would give is a very average rating

Pirates of the Carribean 3. Good special effects, acting was as good as the others, Johnny Depp still a perfect Role for him, but the story had way too many arcs to keep up with.

Keith Richards played the perfect father for Johnny Depp though.

That and they spent all that time building up Calypso and all she did was turn into crabs and spin the sea for a short time? What happened to the rage she was going to reak on all thoughs who betrayed and enslaved her into the human body?

Also, they got all of those ships to show up for the battle, and they only use one in the whole damn battle? What the hell was the rest of the royal fleet doing back there? My wife asked the same question. That and when they started blowing the one Royal ship to hell all the guy could do is stand there? And not really say a word? That made no sense to me either. Made for some awesome special effects, but made no sense story wise.

Re: What movie did you last watch?

Yeah, I thought it pretty retarded aswell that the Pirates sunk one major RN ship and then the rest would just run away, crying like little babies, that's just beyond ignorant IMO.

Either way... I didnt particularly like part I all that much, didn't like II at all and pretty much despised part III (anyone notice a trend? ). Just not my kind of movies I guess .

So, why did I actually watch all three?

Re: What movie did you last watch?

I loved part 1 and part 2 was pretty good, but Part 3's story line just confused me.

I liked part 1 and thought 2 by itself was 'blah'... but had hopes that it needed part 3 to cap it off and pull it all together. Boy, was I wrong! If I was to watch part 2 again I'd probably think less of it now than before.

I recommended it to a friend of mine who I thought for sure would like it, he said pretty much the same thing that you did, "Good idea, kinda disappointing". Maybe just the idea of it was good enough to please me but I thought it was really good. I may have went overboard with the "best movie I've seen this year" thing. "There Will Be Blood" and "In Bruges" are way more entertaining.

I saw Eastern Promises tonight, and I agree. It's just a much better story. Tight, cohesive, involved. The characters are rich.
